ESPN's College Gameday show will come to Duke on March 6 for the final show of the 2009-10 men's basketball season, the network announced. The Blue Devils play host to North Carolina that evening.

The network will be at different campus sites for eight straight weeks beginning Jan. 16. The show also will visit Clemson on Jan. 23 before Duke's game with the Tigers. The Gameday show features one-hour shows each Saturday at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Duke has a new point guard - fresh out of high school. Can not remember his name. Paulus graduated from Duke in May 2009 and is getting his Masters at Syracuse. You are correct that he is playing football there. He has been named their starting quarterback for this season. He might have stayed at Duke, but they do not offer a Masters in his major.
